Control Wisely

Parental controls allow you, as a parent or guardian to be able to control the computer in which your child or younger adult is using. You know the importance of doing so. Online predators are out there and they are readily stalking even the youngest of children that venture onto the web. Using parental controls allows you to keep control of the situation so that you can make decisions for your child that will ultimately help them deal with what happens online.

What Can Be Done?

Each internet service provider will have their own different set of parental controls that you can use. The first thing that you will need to do is to find out what types of software are being offered to you through your provider. If you do find that these parental controls are not enough to really protect your child, you can find others available to you to purchase. Before you make that investment, remember that some internet service providers do provide this, or at least some parental controls, with their service to you.

There are many different options that you can use. Here are a few of the services that are available.

• Monitor who can send your child email.

• Monitor who your child can send emails to, as well.

• Determine who can send instant messages to your child or who your child can chat with in 4 INSTILLING THE RIGHT VALUES chat rooms. Limit them by name or age, or just allow certain ones.

• Monitor the time that they are online. Set a timer for each visit as to how much time they can be online each time they come onto the web.

• Determine which websites your child can go to as well as what type of website it is. Some limit the child to only those websites that are approved by you.

There are other services that you can use when it comes to parental controls. There is no doubt that you’ll be able to find the right type of control for your needs either with your current internet service provider or with additional software that you purchase. The goal here is to find the product that offers you the overall best solution and protection for your child. This isn’t the type of thing that you should put aside and do later.

With parental controls, you stay in control of what your child does online as well as what how long they are online in the first place. One of the tools that many internet service providers provide to you is that of an online timer. This timer is a tool that you should consider for a number of reasons. In many cases, it is a helpful tool that monitors how long your child has been online as well as enforces the limit that you place on that amount of time. You make the decisions and you get to keep those rules going, too.

Face it. You simply can not monitor your teen online all day every day. If you aren’t home and they are online, they may be there the entire time. The internet is full of things to do, websites to visit and lots of people to interact with. It can become a very easy way to push away the time without even knowing that you are doing it. The internet does draw in children of all ages, but remember, your parental controls are in place to help provide you with the protection you need.

An online timer is a simple enough program. All you need to do is to simply tell it just how long you will allow your child to be online. There are several types of settings that you can select from, in most cases. You can choose to limit how much time your child goes online each time they do get online. Or, you can determine how many hours they can be online for each day and limit them. In addition, you can even limit how many times they can be online during the course of a week, if you like. You can limit the number of times that your child can get on the web as well as how long they are allowed to stay there. You determine how much time your child gets online. Once you set this number, when their time is up, the software or internet service provider tells them so. If they don’t sign off themselves, the provider will do it for them, helping you to enforce the rules that you’ve set in place. In most cases, this is a free service as part of the software you purchased. If it isn’t provided, then get it and start giving yourself an extra hand of protection even when you are not home.

Service Provider

Did you know that kids are crafty creatures? You may think you have them protected online with the use of parental controls. You’ve done a good job at making sure that the controls are fair but that they are in place to help your child to do well throughout their time online. Most importantly, you believe your child is safe now that they are online and using the web. The problem is that your child may know a way to getting around those controls and therefore may be able to actually avoid doing so.

How Your Child Can Get Around Your Control

Teens are especially crafty, but don’t put it past your older child to do this as well. The fact is that children learn things about how to do what they want to do online whether its at school or just through friends. It happens and you shouldn’t believe your child is protected when he or she may not be.

What happens is simple. While your parental controls may work for your internet service provider, you child may be using another software that’s already installed 5 INSTILLING THE RIGHT VALUES on your computer to get around them. What’s more is that their other electronic software may also contain the ability to get online without you even realizing it. Such programs as Internet Explorer, Netscape and others are one of the easiest ways to get around parental controls. Other elements such as instant messaging that is done outside of the internet service provider, such as with a different program, chat rooms, forums and even file sharing programs are out there. What’s more is that their handheld gaming systems are now able to get online in some cases.

There Is Hope, Though

The good news is that there are parental control products on the market that can still protect you from many of these services. The first thing to do is to learn what opportunities your child has to get online around your internet service provider. Find out how they are getting online simply by watching or talking to them.

You may be one of the lucky ones that has an internet service provider that actually provides this type of protection to your child through their service. If not, find out how these parental controls work and use them.

Should I Create A Screen Name For My Child?

Considering parental controls for your child is something all parents today that have a computer within their home should do. Here’s why. Your child gets online and visits with a simple and seemingly safe online environment such as a chat room or a message board. They begin communicating with people from in their neighborhood or around the world. But, although they are just talking and being innocent, the other person that they could be talking to is nothing like what they seem. They could be a predator. Or, they could be another kid just like your own. The problem is that there is no way of knowing who they are.

The problem with using parent controls for your child on your own screen name means that you’ll have to implement those controls on yourself. This is difficult to do since most adults don’t want to be limited in where they go and what they do. That’s fine because many internet service providers actually allow you to create additional screen names that fit under your account. That means that you can create a new screen name for your child that can have its own parental controls on it, helping to protect your child.

Once you have your own child set up with their own screen name, the process of setting up parental controls is simple. It takes just a few minutes to go in and create the rules that you want your child following. Selecting the appropriate tools will help you to monitor what your child is doing so that you don’t have to limit your own access to the internet. In most cases, different levels of protection are available so that you can select the one that’s right for your child. Take the time to insure that you talk to them about why you are using parental controls. Don’t use it as a punishment, but a protection for your child’s well being.

Parental controls can be very limiting and they can be quite liberal. As a child gets older, he or she may not require as much protection as they did in the beginning. As a parent, it is important to educate you’re your child the risks of being online. Its also important to monitor how well their parental controls are working for both your needs of protection and their needs to be online.

The right decisions can be made so that everyone can get online and do what they need and want to.

A Child’s View

As a good parent, you realize the importance of using parental controls to help protect your child while they are on the internet.

After all, they want to get online to play fun games, to talk with their 6 INSTILLING THE RIGHT VALUES friends and yes, even to study. There doesn’t have to be a limit to either side of this coin. You can set your child’s parental control levels appropriately to allow them to do age appropriate things that they want to do and still have some control over the situation. But, to make this work, you have to communicate them.

Communicat e Your Needs

The first thing that you should do before ever allowing your child to get online, is talk to them about the risks.

Simply educating them about what the risks are will provide a level of protection to your child in and of itself. But, it is up to you to make this happen for your child.

Talk to your child about internet predators. Inform your child how easy it is for an adult to pretend to be another kid. They often spend hours studying how to do this, in fact, so that they are knowledgeable of the latest trends. The end result is that your child really does believe there is another child on the other end of that instant message and they are more than willing to tell that child anything they need to know.

Talk to your child about

Talk to them about parental controls that are a tool you’ll be using to protect them, not to limit them.

Again, if you taught your child to never talk to strangers, you need to help them realize that the web is full of strangers.

Different Levels Of Protection
